Asked if Walsh spent more time with JLS, Bennett said: "A little bit. He loves boy groups, that's his thing. Boy groups are totally his thing."

The group said they planned to move to London to pursue a record deal, with Bennett adding: "This is not the end of Bad Lashes, and if all this fails we'll bring out our own eyelash range or makeup range."

Ratings fight

The X Factor beat Strictly Come Dancing in Saturday night's TV ratings, with overnight figures showing an average of 10.4 million people tuned it in to see it.

The BBC One show had an average audience of 7.4 million, with many viewers opting to watch England's World Cup football qualifying match against Kazakhstan on ITV1 instead.

The X Factor's late results programme attracted eight million viewers, according to the overnight ratings, which do not take into account those who recorded the show to watch later.
